Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for December 31, 2022

And the Greek guy who bites down too hard on the hidden coin then gets a visit from the Tooth Fairy after his trip to the dentist!

Money inside food? Imagine how filthy that is. “Hey kids, dinner time! Come and eat some Money!!”

I wonder if that red underwear tradition was started by Victoria’s Secret.

Years ago it was popular to put coins in a child’s birthday cake. After many mishaps from injuries biting on coins, swallowing them, etc. the practice was discontinued.

RBION is getting more lax in their research every day…

The French La galette des rois has une fève, a tiny charm, buried inside one of the slices. If you find it, you’re “king for a day” and take your place in a 700-year old French tradition…

The British Xmas pudding had a 6d piece buried in it…

Here are a few more, but not all, European New Year Traditions…

..mmmm.. gagg.. choke.. plop.. “Hey, look! He found it!” “Yay!” “Nikola will have a great funeral!”

Take care, may cultural studies student athlete Todd “I Lurned To Reed An’ Rite” Linebackord be with you, and gesundheit.

In that respect Kwanzaa is much like what Christmas and Hanukkah have become!

After boasting to her mother about how great she is at doing head stands, Susan was advised not to practice it in her new school since her underwear is usually exposed.

Susan was proud at her achievement after her first day and was eager to tell Mum about the great audience of boys she attracted at school when showing off her skills.

Mother reminded her about exposing her panties of which Susan replied, “No Mum they were not seeing my panties.”

“How come sweetie?”, said Mum.

“Because I took them off Mum.” she replied.

The whole background on the guy that created “kwanza” should be in Ripley’s…..

My new avatar is my painting of an Australian Shepherd with a Florida sunset in the background!

Kwanza is made up BS

The best of luck to all of you in 2023. May your dreams and plans come true.

Changed their logo, a I see.

That coin isn’t going to prove too lucky if the recipient bites into it and breaks a tooth!

It’s even better luck if she lets you take them off…

quick let me get my red pants on

The Greek’s Vasilopita sounds like our King Cake for Mardi Gras.

Do the Greeks ask “What’s for dinar?”

It’s Greek bread, not cake.

Only if wearing red skivvies.

In my country, if you get stuck with the fava bean inside the cake, you have to pay the bill.

Red is also deemed lucky in Southeast Asia, at least for envelopes.

just for Jason: nappy yew hear

An aside to @Stevesilver48 … "Can anyone see this besides me?” Nope, can only see you just on your profile…

That gondolier is making love eyes at whom?
